I'm noticing that my fasting blood sugar is consistently between 108 and 115 most days. I don't take any diabetes medication, but I do exercise regularly. What steps can I take to get my fasting sugar levels down into the 90s without relying on diabetes medicine?

To lower your fasting blood sugar from 108-115 to the 90s without medication, focus on these lifestyle modifications: increase aerobic exercise durationintensity (aim for 150 minutesweek), incorporate strength training (2-3 timesweek), lose weight if needed (aim for 5-10% reduction), adopt a balanced diet with whole, unprocessed foods, increase fiber intake (aim for 25-30 gramsday), drink plenty of water, manage stress through yoga or meditation, and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night; monitor your progress

View allI'm really worried because my 26-year-old wife has been diagnosed with a thyroid issue, and her TSH levels are at 150, which seems really high compared to the reference range. Can you please guide us on what steps we should take next?
With a TSH level of 150, your wife's thyroid condition is considered severe hypothyroidism; consult an endocrinologist for personalized guidance, but typical next steps include initiating thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine), monitoring TSH levels regularly, and adjusting medication dosages as needed to achieve normal TSH levels,

I'm really curious about something. I had surgery for a benign pituitary macroadenoma back in 2014, and I've been on cabergoline 0.25mg once a week since then. I just had a baby, but my lactation seems to be completely suppressed. Do you think it might be okay to stop taking the medication for a bit to see if I can start producing milk? Also, how long does the effect of the cabergoline stay in your system if I stop taking it?
It may take one week to one month to restore the normal lactation after stopping the drug

I'm a bit concerned because for the past couple of months, my urine has been a deep yellow color. I'm wondering if this might be related to the glyciphage tablets I take. Could there be a connection, or is there something else I should consider?
The yellow urine indicates a lot of things like even if you are not taking enough water, the urine can be yellow. As said by my colleague, if you are on any multivitamin also it can be yellow. Have you started noticing after taking the glyciphage tablet or was OK in the past with the tablet also? Urinary tract infection can also cause a dark coloured urine. Here is what you can do, drink upto four litres of water a day and get a urine complete test done.
